Unusual Presentation of Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumour
Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) develop from neuroendocrine cells. Gastric NETs are usually discovered as submucosal lesions during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. NETs are graded into 3 types based on mitosis and Ki-67 index. We describe a case of upper GastroIntestinal Bleeding which was diagnosed to be a well differentiat- ed type III neuroendocrine tumor of the stomach.
